Distort vs Corner Pin Effect

In FCP, where can I find an alternative for the Corner Pin Effect in Adobe Premiere & After Effects ?

At Creative Cow I found that the Distort Tool is the alternative, but that's not true !

The Distort Tool bends the diagonals of the image. The Corner Pin Effect keep them straight.
In Motion it is possible (Adjust Four Corner - Tab) , but how can I do this in FCP ?

I post a trial at Picasa (i hope it works - is it not possible to add an attachement at this forum)

FCP is not an compositing software it is part of a package, which also includes Motion.
You say it works in Motion.
Well then: Select the clip in FCP. Right click. select Send to Motion.
In Motion do the four corner pin. File > Save. Revert to FCP. Voila. There's your clip corner pinned...

(Yes a workaround, but a workable workaround I guess).
